Assign courses to a group

You can assign one or more courses to groups so that members of the group can access the courses. This is the easiest way to assign a course to multiple users and manage the assignment in one place (such as deadline and course category).

To view the course assignments for a group, click Course on the contents menu to display the “Course Assignments” page. The page shows a list of all the courses that are assigned to the group.

Each course in the list shows the course code and title, the expiry date (the date the course is removed from the learning schedule), the deadline, and the category for the course.

To add a new course, click Edit to show the list of available courses. The page shows all courses defined in the Learning Management System, with a check box to show the current course assignments (which appear at the top of the list).

To assign a course to the user, tick the check box next to the course title. To remove a course, clear the check box. Click Submit to save the new course assignments, or Return to return to the current course assignments.

If you enable the application setting “Option.SendCourseNotificationEmail”, an email is sent for each course to each member of the group to notify them that their learning schedule has changed.

If a user has both a direct assignment and one or more group assignments to the same course, it appears only once in the learning schedule. The Learning Management System will compare the parameters from all the assignments and use the earliest expiry date, the earliest deadline, and the highest category.
